U.S. Now in Afghanistan Longer Than SovietsPosted on Nov 27, 2010
Some records are made to be broken, from the 100-meter dash to Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. But who would covet breaking the nine-year, 50-day Soviet record for its military campaign in Afghanistan? And the winner is … the USA. —JCL

The U.S. Marines are sending about 15 M1A1 Abrams tanks to Afghanistan in December. The American government can not admit defeat, so countless lives will be lost to death and destruction. Just like Viet Nam in many ways.

Blame Bush, the useful-fool target of the shadow network’s 9/11 coup d’état ?!?!
Better blame Brzezinski and Gates - architects of ME policy to radicalize ME muslims and create an Arab Foreign Legion
Neo-cons, of course, got dragged in behind the Russians, realizing the perfect opportunity to exercise their Nietzchien craving for endless enemies (endless war) while enriching their friends - but ZBig’s back in the saddle
look for more and more proxy wars and endless terror on the run - his Al-CIA-duh will run like the Engergizer Bunny and his golden boy mountebank OBL is a legend with more lives than an Eveready Battery

Time and again I predicted that Afghanistan would be the graveyard of the American evil empire as was the case with the evil Soviet Union empire.
In a sense this is good news for the world at large, though it is not good for Afghanistan. However, the Afghans should take pride that in a period of less than quarter of a century they were responsible for bringing down two of the most evil empires in human history.
God is Great!

Blame Bush. There was a “mission” in 2001. He pulled the resources in 2003 for his war in Iraq. When the “mission”, which seemed easily feasible then became UN-feasible due to the starvation of resources, he simply changed the “mission”. We would have been out of Afghanistan by the beginning of 2004, without Iraq.
He might have even legitimately been re-elected in 2004 if he had not gotten us into Iraq and finished up in Afghanistan before the election.
